Hi, I'm Troy McClu...err, /u/schismsaints
|
||
|
||
You might remember me from my reddit hits such as "Why does AutoMod hate everything I do?", or [my most recent post from a couple of days ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/of20ou/a_deep_dive_into_nftgamestopcom/).
|
||
|
||
I wanted to update my previous DD with some recent findings, clearing up a few points as well as expanding on the research I've done thus far. As before, you can find the current DD image in multiple formats here at my GitHub repo - <https://github.com/schismsaints/GME_NFT>
|
||
|
||
To start, if you aren't familiar with basic blockchain concepts, [my previous post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/of20ou/a_deep_dive_into_nftgamestopcom/) and [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/ofndb0/a_crypto_dive_with_the_jellyfish_10_things_about) from [/u/Dismal-Jellyfish](https://www.reddit.com/u/Dismal-Jellyfish/) (seriously, it's well worth a read) will help get you up to speed on the different token types, smart contracts, and other general blockchain concepts.

An Update on GME Tokens
|
||
|
||
- [ERC-20 GameStop.finance scam token](https://etherscan.io/token/0x9eb6be354d88fd88795a04de899a57a77c545590) - Obvious scam is obvious, but finding this token gave me a link to be able to more conclusively debunk the 69,420,000 ERC-20 token

|
||
|
||
"The missing link"
|
||
|
||
- [ERC-20 GME GameStop Token](https://etherscan.io/token/0x5b7d043ecb3a694069cc01e763159ea1bde0541d) - Thanks to several of the commenters on my last post(s), I went through a deeper dive into the ERC-20 GME ('fake 1337420' address) token and agree that it is likely a scam.
|
||
|
||
- The two most solid pieces of evidence identifying the scam are:
|
||
|
||
- [0xfoobar directly disputing its validity](https://twitter.com/0xfoobar/status/1409740353738096641?s=21)
|
||
|
||
- [More than one address holding the confirmed scam token as well as this one](https://etherscan.io/tokenholdings?a=0xfb5484a510c48c307fd0253ee4d0a0866950f9a3)
|
||
|
||
- [There is one address](https://etherscan.io/address/0x7f8c1877ed0da352f78be4fe4cda58bb804a30df) which has ties to some potentially relevant blockchain companies (Cudo primarily) that had me doubting early on whether it was a scam, but on further research I've found a lot of links to Nigeria, Dubai, etc which, while not red flags in and of themselves, certainly don't line up with GameStop corporate hiring their own domestic blockchain team.

|
||
|
||
Largest single GME ERC-20 Token holder address
|
||
|
||
- [ERC-20 GME Coin Token](https://etherscan.io/token/0xd4596454a0e145842d1319d6921399e8e1622ad7) - I have identified [an external account](https://etherscan.io/address/0x503828976d22510aad0201ac7ec88293211d23da) involved in funding the GME Coin address, but the trail went cold after that. I can't confirm or deny that it is legitimate at this point; in either event, whoever created it went through more effort to hide their tracks than the other tokens. It does not appear to have been sold/swapped anywhere as of yet.
|
||
|
||
- [ERC-721 GME GameStop Token ("The One and Only")](https://etherscan.io/token/0x13374200c29C757FDCc72F15Da98fb94f286d71e) - I suspect this will be the only one of its kind minted, either as a teaser or POC token for further NFT work.
|
||
|
||
- One interesting possibility came to mind that - while not a crypto dividend per-se - could still have some interesting applications to securities exchanges or implications for the MOASS. Caution: Speculation/theorycrafting inbound
|
||
|
||
- Consider the scenario involved with shareholder voting, where each shareholder receives a control number on each brokerage where they hold shares. Each control number is associated with the number of shares held at a point in time snapshot.
|
||
|
||
- With ERC-721 or ERC-1155, a unique NFT could be minted for each shareholder/control number. The number of shares associated with each NFT could either be held in an external DB or as metadata (a field on the token itself).
|
||
|
||
- This would create a public record of the number of shares held by individual shareholders at a point in time and could be updated on an annual basis (or more frequently if desired) in line with shareholder voting standards.
|
||
|
||
- This also avoids the 'crypto dividend' hangups associated with Overstock as there isn't any money involved nor is there any way this method could prevent legitimate short selling - it's merely a public ledger of shares in circulation.
|
||
|
||
- Alternatively, if they do a crypto coin dividend instead of a crypto stock dividend like Overstock, presumably they wouldn't place the same restrictions on selling which was the main point of contention in the Overstock case as I understand it. See below for some reading on Overstock.

[/u/No-Fox-1400](https://www.reddit.com/u/No-Fox-1400/) has a lot of the same thoughts I do in his posts here:

|
||
|
||
- The timeline here including Overstock was an excellent read, but the part I really want to call out is this

|
||
|
||
This is in line with my thoughts on timing - NFT platform launch on 7/14, announcement of dividend/crypto play on 7/14, and record date for a crypto based dividend on 7/24

[/u/clawesome](https://www.reddit.com/u/clawesome/) and [/u/nuclear-falcon](https://www.reddit.com/u/nuclear-falcon/) noticed some recent activity on the original smart contract here

I've drawn out these relations on the long format diagram, shown below

Huge credit to [/u/HandyBananaMan](https://www.reddit.com/u/HandyBananaMan/) for being almost as obsessed with the transaction logs as me and pointing me toward several bread crumbs along the way.
|
||
|
||
TL:DR; Buy, Hold, Buckle Up. GME Blockchain team hard at work to bring us something mind blowing. I expect that *even if* a crypto dividend does not materialize, the [nft.gamestop.com](https://nft.gamestop.com/) project will be revolutionary and will function as a large catalyst for price movement regardless of a dividend play.
